Denco, I've been thinking but have not come up with an appropriate wager for you. I think I'll be satisfied to see a well-fought, clean series without any serious injuries. May the best team win.

PS. Dow is over 15000 again. Could this signal a bullish turnaround? Go SIRI and all other issues represented here.

SLY, I know you're not asking me, but I am hoping the Spurs win. I prefer Tim Duncan, having always gravitated towards players who exemplify 'silent determination.' Players like John Havlichek and Jerry West. I am just happy the Lakers lost!!
